It’s amazing the amount of enemy propaganda on this board. I read the other day that the Iranians have hundreds of people they pay to go on US based boards like this and spread enemy propaganda. After reading this board I believe it! Be careful what you believe out here!

I've been reading a lot tonight how horrible the US is, how we are such bullies, and terrorrists'. So if we are so bad, why are you here? Would you sit in the Yankee section of a baseball game and cheer for the Red Sox? Of course not, so why in the h#!! would you live in the US and root against us? As the Wife of a US Soldier fighting in Iraq, so you lazy, arrogant, self righteous jerks can sit here and gripe, I have to say this is our country, if you don't like it then leave it! So tell me why are you here??

An Iraqi general (obviously very trustworthy) says that Iraq has WMD... and they believe it...

A Sudanese official (again, really trustworthy) says they offered Clinton bin Laden...and they believe it...

and this happens time and time again...

if bin Laden said he worked for Clinton... I'm pretty sure they would believe it...

that's why they seem to love Fox News... it agrees with them...

and they also call anything that disagrees with them "liberal"... regarudless of facts or statistics...

seems like an odd way of doing things...

the nations that score at the top all use social programs for the services they offer...

shouldn't these countries be at the bottom if social programs don't work?

If it is about land? Even Jordan kicked out the Palestinians: if not even any Arab/Muslim countries want the Palestinians, then why should the Jews accept them with open arms when they openly call for the destruction of Israel?

If it is about religion, why is the Middle East not content with being 99% Muslim and 1% Jewish, why must they be 100% Muslim?

Should the U.S. get out of the U.N. and move the UN Headquarters to a very democratic nation like, maybe, North Korea?

Politics are nasty and the politicians that represent WE the people ignore us for the most part.
Illegals and immigrants are changing our well-cared for neighborhoods, schools, parks to trashy neighborhoods, schools, parks. They are changing our shopping centers and cities from American stype to whatever style they brought with them from which they wanted to escape.
Our government is spending our tax dollars building back Countries we bombed and for aid to Countries that can't or won't care for themselves.
Our jobs are being sent to other Countries or taken over by illegals willing to work for 'nothing'. This leaves WE the people having to accept low paying jobs in fast food resturants or Walmart (the worst monster ever created).
Do any of you see how things can keep from just getting worse and worse until we won't recognize our Country anymore and all the decent jobs will be gone or tore down to nothing.

I had multiple injuries, when a small filling cabinet fell on me, that was on top of another, and it was not secure. The phisician from work released me since my MRI did not show anything on my back. One of the many injuries was on my knee after it hit me in two other places. I have recently transfer to a different position that involves being on my feet all day, and for the last two weeks I have been in pain. Can I request for a doctor to look at my knee and is it posible to still get an MRI, without having problems or questioning from work, and can they refuse?

What do you think of this statement:

Unity is crucial to developing a concept of belonging to a country. The cult of Diversity shatters us into separate cliques. In a country the size and scope of the United States, it is far more important to create commonality than to divide people into discrete categories.

When I run for president I plan on making big changes (hopefully the US will be better by then and I want have to change any thong) I plan on making the nation safer for children so that they’re parents don’t have to worry abut them being abducted and hurt. I plan on peacefully bring an end to all gang violence, but if they do want to be come peaceful and I will convince congress to allow me to have the military to go in and kill all gang member no questions asked. I plan on trying to fix all government program problems such as welfare, medic care and the like. I will fight for harder immigration laws and stronger land and sea borders.

If you have, any ides about what I should fix then tell me so I may think about them
